The risk of systemic absorption is greater in the area of the face. Corticosteroids have anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative effects and for that reason, they are administered in cases of eczema and dermatitis. However, their action has to be limited to the affected skin areas (the target organ) and not the systemic organs. The skin of the face is not as thick as on the rest of the body, so applying the corticosteroid cream on this area increases the risk of the absorption of the drug in the systemic circulation.

Why is embryonic stem cells used in the treatment of physiological diseases
lesantik [10]
Embryonic stem cells have the ability to become all types of cells.
That means that those stem cells can become kidney cells, lung cells etc.
If you nurture these stem cells with healty cells from a tissue or an organ, those stem cells will eventually grow into and become the same as the cells you nurtured the with.

This means that you could use embryonic stem cells to create healthy kidneys, skin and other types of tissues/organs.

Which would most affect the health of fish in a local pond?
QveST [7]

D. The daily release of hot water into the pond from a local factory.

Explanation:

The daily release of hot water into the pond from a local factory would most likely affect the health of fish in a local pond.

Fishes are cold blooded animals. They derive their temperature from the water around them. They need a fairly stable daily temperature.

If the temperature of the water varies to a large extent too much daily, they will suffer.

Hot water will affect the fish population badly. It will cause the fishes to die off and suffer from too much increase in temperature.

Other factors listed in the options will improve the fish life.
